Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Too often, people feel afraid to admit that they are struggling with their mental health. This fear of prejudice and judgement stops people from getting help and can destroy families and end lives. Heads Together, working with local Mind charity wants to help people feel much more comfortable with their everyday mental wellbeing and have the practical tools to support their friends and family.

As many of you know, I myself have suffered with my own mental well being, experiencing sometimes the darkest moments of depression to the unknown territory of anxiety and panic. However, with the help of my family and friends, my love of training and especially my son, I always found the strength to keep moving forward and carry on with my journey of a strong body and strong mind. 

However not everyone is as fortunate as me to have this support network and I want to help raise much needed funds to ensure that everybody that is affected by Mental Health Problems have the support to improve their physical and mental well-being, strengthen their self-esteem and confidence, build strong relationships with their family, friends and communities, get into education, training and work and achieve their own personal and social goals.

This is the 2nd time I've ran 2 marathons in 1 week, so I know how physically and mentally enduring this challenge will be. This time though, one of the marathons is particuarly challenging as it is cross country with very steep hills, thus means my training has to be both road and cross country... (those with running experience will know this won't be easy)

I will be running 'London Marathon' on April 23rd 2017 and 'The Three Fort Challenge' on April 30th 2017

I'm asking you all to help by sponsoring me for this challenge, and any amount that can be spared will all go towards helping reach my target and in turn help so many lives.

Thank you in advance, I will post updates on training througout the months.

much love
